First graduates from Fidelity's new adviser programme

Five newly-minted graduates of Fidelity Life’s financial adviser training programme Career connect have walked straight into roles with advice businesses around New Zealand.

Fidelity Life senior solutions manager Sarah-may Butterfield says it’s rewarding to see the first group of fully qualified advisers emerge from Career connect.

“Our Career connect participants are passionate about up-skilling and helping their communities become more financially resilient, and this is evidenced through the fact that most completed the programme while also holding down full-time roles elsewhere,” she says.     

One new graduate who’s already found a new role is Stephanie Wilson. Recently appointed as client services manager at Auckland advice business Insurance Market Collective.
